Am I getting the runaround?
I have been working as an inside salesman for a small O&G service company for almost 5 years, and we haven't had a true sales manager for 2 of those years. I have set myself apart from my peers, and have handled matters that a manager should take care of. I have been told numerous times over a couple of years that I will be the sales manager by the higher-ups, but they don't know when. I understand that I need to be patient, and have no problem doing so, but it seems to be getting ridiculous.
My company has started to re-hire personnel that were been laid off in the first few rounds, at a higher wage than when they left, which is higher than what I'm currently making. The acting sales manager is never here and I pick up the slack where I can, because I truly want what's best for the company. Would you just stick it out and hope for the best, or would you say enough is enough?
